Priyanka Chopra Isolated Herself After A Painful Breakup

The recently released memoir, ‘Unfinished’, by Priyanka Chopra, has unboxed a lot of secrets of PC’s life that came as a shocker to everybody. The one incident which is catching everyone’s attention is when Priyanka was facing a tough time in her life, when she moved to New York in 2016.

During that period, Priyanka was going through a rough time due to her break-up and was still recovering from her father’s death in 2013. Under such circumstances, she had isolated herself from everybody and she would only go out to shoot for her series, ‘Quantico.’ She had also put on 9 kgs after her break-up.

She was not even able to confide in her mother, Madhu Chopra, because she was deeply distressed and in pain. She also fell into depression due to all of this. She mentions, ‘When I wasn’t feeling numb, I felt lonely, sad and isolated. No one understood what was going on inside me, because i didn’t tell anyone.’

Not only that, she also bore the brunt of male gaze in Bollywood where a director/producer told her to ‘fix her proportions’, if she wanted to be a successful actress in the Bollywood industry. She says, ‘I left the director/producer’s office feeling stunned and small. Was he right that I couldn’t be successful unless I had so many body parts ‘fixed’? I thought of how individuals in the media and others in the industry had referred to me as ‘dusky’ and ‘different-looking’ and I wondered if I was cut out for this business after all.’
